What our clients have to say!

"Words cannot express just how fabulous, fun, and fricken' awesome Pin-Up Perfection Photography is!! Not only is Shimona super sweet and friendly, she is insanely skilled, talented and hard-working. For the whole weekend I was in the studio she simultaneously acted as the ultimate professional photographer, makeup artist, hair stylist, fashion consultant, person-who-poses-you-perfectly, etc - and yet was also so fun and down-to-earth at the same time! She easily integrated my eccentric collections of costumes and props into perfect pin-up poses, getting playful, glamorous and sexy photos as a result. It doesn't matter if you are a professional model or shyly posing for the first time - Shimona will make you look and feel amazing, always! " - Kris

"Hello my love! Wow - these are completely amazing! I love love LOVE them! :-D Thank you SO much Shimona for all your hard work, both on the day and in the editing. I'm really very happy with the results! Feel free to post on the fanpage, go forth and spread with the world! Next time I'm back in Vancouver I'm coming to see you again girl! Much love." Charlotte

"Dear Shimona, I'd like to tell you how grateful I am for such a wonderful evening! I wanted to do something special and different for my birthday and I'm so glad I came to you! I've always wanted to do something like this and it was way beyond my expectations. I've never really felt gorgeous or sexy, and just for once, I wanted to feel that way and be glamorous! Thanks to you, I had a Cinderella story I'll never forget. Such a wonderful experience! I'm so glad you made my birthday so memorable. I was nervous at first and I didn't know what to expect. Despite you having to work solo, you went all out for me and you were so professional, not to mention awesome!!! I felt so comfortable despite the challenging poses! I had a lot of fun!!! By the end of our session it felt so easy going, like I had already known you for a long time, instead of just having met you once before my shoot! I am so amazed by my photos - They look gorgeous even without re-touching. It will be a hard choice for me to choose which I would like re-touched!!! I have already recommended Pin-up Photography to my co-workers and friends and I'll be coming back for sure with one of my girlfriends for some more transformation fun! Thank you Shimona!!! You are wonderful! (You even walked me to my car!!! So sweet!!!!) XOX" -Melissa

"Once upon a time, back in 2010, a very shy, shaking and overwhelmed woman stood in Shimona's old Whiterock studio - tugging at her outfit, second guessing the choice and utterly petrified to step behind the camera. It was one of those mornings where my brain decided to turn into that evil, judgmental monster we all know can surface now and again... nothing fits right, the pictures are going to be horrible, i've made a mistake. I'm not sure if my shaking knees gave it away, or if I just simply looked like a deer in headlights, but before I even sat down for make up, Shimona tilted her head to follow her and we popped outside. For about 30 minutes, we sat on her front steps over a cup of coffee... just chatting. Gabbing about why I decided to book a pin up shoot, and that I was horribly camera shy; but also about what was happening that weekend, tomorrow - mundane every day chit chat. That chat, wound its way back into the studio and continued while I got my hair artfully twisted up into a pin up poof. We giggled about music and business while she adjusted my lipsticks and glued on fake eyelashes. And about an hour later, I laughed myself out of the chair and in front of the backdrop for "test shots". Shimona jokingly asked me to make a face - I stuck my tongue out at camera. Then silly faces slipped into Ooo's and Ahh's and suddenly - I was in the middle of my first ever pin up shoot. After we laughed our way through countless rounds, we sat down to go over the shots together. That shy, shaky woman returned but this time, her appearance would be short lived. As the photos came up on the screen something released. For the first time, EVER, I felt attractive in a photo. The woman who notoriously hated getting her picture taken was excitedly pointing out "keepers". That day changed so much for me. From there, that little lady went on to take burlesque classes with the infamous Burgundy Brixx, which led to a want to try my hand at producing my own show, collaboration meetings and sitting here today, about to celebrate my three year anniversary with the phenomenal Pandora & The Locksmiths. Whatever hang ups you may have; whatever insecurities - a shoot with Shimona is like therapy. She is brilliantly laid back, incredibly patient and she will make you feel like a million bucks. For me, she opened the door to an entirely new world, community and passion. But at the very bones of it - she made me feel good about myself. If you want to do this. If you've been going back and forth on it for a few months, popping on the website, contemplating the price - just do. It is worth it. Even if your taking the pictures just for yourself... ESPECIALLY if you're taking the pictures just for yourself. I'm still shy in front of a camera. And I still have moments where I tug at my clothing and my knees shake. But when i'm old and grey, i'll have a saucy photo of my first shoot to remind that at 25... I had an exceptionally ballsy afternoon that led to this hilarious life of glitter. SO much love for Shimona & her crew. Highly HIGHLY recommend."

"Thank you so much. It was an amazing experience and I hope to do it again...Tell Stella my makeup and hair were so awesome that I never wanted to wash either away!!! You are both true professionals!" - R

"Doing something like a pin-up shoot can seem a bit daunting to the more camera shy, but Shimona is such a pro that she helps you look your best and feel at ease while you're being snapped. The studio has so many fun props and costumes it's an adventure to dig through and come up with ideas. If you have ever thought of trying out pin-up photography, you should book an appointment with these lovely ladies."

"Shimona Henry was so cool. How incredible is it that a photographer you just met can put you so at ease? We love the poses she put us in. I look forward to seeing the photos. Kudos to the Pinup Photography gals for giving me explicit directions to get the right poses and make me look fab. Now I know to pop out the hip and point the toe!"

"I had wanted to shoot with Pin-up Perfection for quite sometime and jumped on a Groupon deal I found which promised savings even though I really couldn't afford it. I have done other photo shoots so I am getting use to the typical chin out and down posing but posing for a pin up shoot is a whole nother ball game. She will pose you right down to the positioning of your fingers and the final product will have you thinking you could be a professional model! She has a natural talent with hair and make up and with what seems like no effort at all she will have you looking like a pin up queen! Shimona is very personable and even though I am not comfortable around people I don't know I found myself at ease which makes it a lot easier when you are sitting in front of a lens under the glaring eyes of a spot light."

"I am lucky to have Shimona Henry to be the first photographer to shoot me as I was very nervous. She is an excellent coach, very professional and keeps the atmosphere fun, which ultimately adds to the success to how her photos turn out. She knows how to make her models feel comfortable but most importantly beautiful, sassy and sexy as she is genuine in her love of her art. I haven't met anyone as dedicated to their craft as Shimona is, you ask for an inch and she will give you a mile and guaranteed you will be blown-away with the results of your photos. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend Shimona to anyone, not only is she a gifted photographer, she is an amazing, strong woman. Thank you again Shimona, really, the pictures are gorgeous and you really made me feel special."- Laurie

"First off, I am not a model. I have an average body type, a little disproportionate, a few war wounds, but for my height and age a healthy body. I made an appointment to do a shoot with Shimona (who runs Pin-up Perfection) on a sunny Sunday afternoon. I drove to White Rock with a bag full of costumes and a bouffant filled with excitement. Shimona was a doll herself, with her cute blonde pin-up hairstyle and dazzling smile, she was super friendly and made me feel totally at ease when I did the shoot. Not everyone can make you feel relaxed when you're just in your skivvies. She was full of creative ideas and different positions for me to try out. Believe me, some of those positions are more difficult to hold than you think! It was like doing yoga in thigh highs! Keep your legs pointed, chest out, stick out your butt, keep your back curved, extend your neck, and smile!! The photos turned out great, and we ended up doing another shoot for a zombie pin-up session at the Police Museum. Before you die, you have to get photos done with this lady because then you'll have some saucy photos to show your grankids when you get old. Look at what a hot number granny was back in the day!"

"Professional, creative and FUN! I have done photoshoots with Shimona Henry twice, and both times she has made me look like a major babe. I have no modeling experience, but I didn't have to worry for one second about flailing helplessly in front of the camera - Shimona coached me through minor tweaks and touches that made each pose.... perfection. Everytime my face froze, my fingers stiffened or my tummy relaxed her expert eye caught it and she gently reminded me to adjust. I would like my 10,000 dollar per day supermodel fee now, please? ;) My next big birthday event will definitely be a party at Pin-up Perfection. Every woman can look like a Pin Up! Photographer Shimona, stylist Chevvy and make-up artist Kat were an amazing team at our recent pin-up party for a friend's stagette. They helped each of the five girls in attendance to find their inner vixen and we all came away having had the most fun and unique experience!"

"So my boyfriend and I were walking through the Taboo show in Abbotsford and saw Pinup Perfection was doing a promo shoot. My boyfriend is majorly into pinup photography so after we had a rest he talked me into doing them. Kat did my makeup and she did a great job. I personally hate being looked at and photographed but Shimona made me feel at ease, shockingly so considering i was in ruffled panties and a bikini top in front of a bzillion people I didn't know (at least I hope I didn't know them, omg). The pictures turned out great, i felt like a rockstar. I would recommend her to anyone :) She could make a bag of potatoes feel sexy. Very professional."

"I had photos done for my fiancé as his wedding gift. All day building up to my appointment my nerves were buzzing but as soon as I met Shimona, there was an instant connection. I went from an insecure wreck to feeling like I was the most beautiful person in the room. She has a way of making you feel so at ease and the pictures turned out more beautiful than I ever thought possible!"

"I was beyond thrilled when I saw that Shimona Henry was going to be doing the photos. What a fabulous score! That was honestly the best photo booth we have ever had and I haven't even seen the photos. Why? Because Shimona clearly cared about every photo she took. She could have just taken each photo as people jumped in front of her station, but instead she took time to look at each photo, give direction, take another photo, and re-position people so everyone looked their best. That is the sign of a pro! Love her." - Kat

"Shimona is not only an amazingly patient photographer, she is a genuinely good person. After 8+ hours of shooting, I was pretty owly near the end, as you can imagine. Not used to ever being in front of the camera, I was ready to go home! Shimona just kept on clicking away with her smile while encouraging me. They even bought me some yummy Indian food during our break! I would reccommend everyone to book time with Pin-up Perfection Photography, for sure. The girls made me feel completely comfortable. Funnest photo shoot ever!"- Jenny (Calendar Cutie package)

"Had such an amazingly fun night at Pinup Perfection! Thank you Shimona Henry! You are such a beautiful, warm, and sweet lady and made my first pinup experience a blast! Thank you for putting up with my uncooperative legs! :P"

"Thank you so much for the wonderful experience, Shimona! You are an amazing & talented artist. You made me feel very comfortable & I had so much fun. I can hardly wait for my next photo session with you ;) "

"Hi Shimona, I wanted to thank you again for the photoshoot last night. It was truly an amazing experience and I could barely decide which 6 I wanted!!!"

"Shimona you rock ...thank you so much for taking it gentle on me with LOTS of patience today! I had a BLAST...the photos you did are awesome I can't choose...I WILL be doing more shoots with you for sure :)...your the best !"

"Thank you so much. I had so much fun with the photo shoot. I felt completely comfortable and smokin' hot the entire time. The end result was fantastic, I will be treasuring these for a long time. I will definitely be a repeat pin up girlie customer! Can't wait to go to one of your workshops." -Aisha

"Shimona, I just have to thank you again for such a wonderful, exciting and fun opportunity yesterday! I had such a blast and am so happy that I didn't chicken out! You made it so welcoming and relaxed... You are a very talented lady! I look forward to sharing my experience with others and hope that they can experience it for themselves! :) And again.. Thank you so much, you have no idea what this has done for me!"- Marina

"My wife wanted to give me something different and unique on the occasion of my 50th birthday, and I can’t tell you how pleased and surprised I was when she gave me a wonderful selection of images of herself as a pin-up model. You’ve managed to capture her fun-loving spirit and her voluptuous shape in tastefully provocative ways that I know will always bring a smile to my face. When she explained to me how comfortable she felt working with you and how much she enjoyed the entire experience, it made me happy to think that my enjoyment of her in those photos is a result of the fun she had in posing for them. My compliments to you for a job very well done!" -Matt

"Thank you so much for making me feel like a truly beautiful pin up girl!" - Amy

"Professional, knowledgeable, adorable are only just a few words that come into my head when I think about Shimona Henry and her amazing photography. Her unique style is always something I want in my portfolio. She makes me comfortable on set, always has appropriate pose tips and props, and is a sweet girl all around. Her accurate knowledge of the era's style makes every photo look straight out of a gentleman's magazine. I have always enjoyed each of our shoots together and am equally pleased with the outcome. Each photo is a fantastic memory." - Amanda

"I have been privileged to witness Shimona and her company evolve from passionate young woman with a vision to the professional photographer with a ever-growing company that has been taking the industry by storm. Shimona offers women of every size, age and walk-of life an opportunity to bring out the inner diva. Her warmth is immediately noticed and puts you at ease. She's encouraging and understanding while helping you focus on your best attributes. whether it be photographs for your spouse, or just a memory to have for yourself-each shoot showcases the clients personality. There's something to be said for the way you feel about yourself after being shot by Pin-up Perfection. Its almost as though you walk into her studio unaware of the confidence you will radiate after a photo session. It was an unforgettable experience!" - Ashley

"I've done 3 photo shoots with Shimona over the course of one year and every single one has been a unique, very special experience. She makes you feel beautiful and special and you are guaranteed to walk out of her cute photo studio with a huge grin lasting for days... And as soon as you see the retouched photos, you will be thrilled with the results - because how you felt like during the shoot is how you will look on the photos - absolutely fabulous and stunning. "- Ezster

"I think it's safe to say that we had an absolute blast. you were wonderful, Shimona; the atmosphere was fun, vibrant, and you made us feel really safe and confident in our poses. I personally couldn't have asked for a better 'first time'! "- Louisa

"I had a fabulous time and while I started off feeling very timid in front of all of my beautiful friends, everyone made me feel very comfortable. I had an absolute blast! "- Bernice

"My experience with Shimona and the girls at Pin-up perfection was such an amazing adventure! I felt so inspired and comfortable and they all made me feel "simply" beautiful. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and am already thinking of when I can get photographed again. Thanks girls! "- Jamie

"I had the best experience with Shimona... At first I was so nervous about getting in to skimpy outfits and having my picture taken... But she made me feel so comfortable... She really knows how to make you feel at ease and knows exactly what poses to put you in to bring out the best! Thank You so much I defiantly will be doing this again soon! "- Heather

"I Just did a photo shoot for a Christmas gift for my boyfriend and Shimona was super nice and I had so much fun... I would love to do it again!!!! "- Melanie

"Shimona, you are a STAR! I am so thrilled with my photos – you did an amazing job! I don’t know how I’ll manage to choose from them all. You are so talented. Everything was perfect: my hair and makeup, the wardrobe and props you had available,and you made me feel so at ease. You went above and beyond my expectations, and being a photographer myself, my expectations were high. I can’t wait to see the final photos, and to come back next summer! I’m definitely recommending you to all my girlfriends. I can’t thank you enough for everything! "- Chloe

"Shimona takes the most wonderful photos- she's fun and comfortable to work with and most importantly she understands how to make a woman shine!"- Nikki

"I was thrilled with my photographs from Pin-up Perfection. Shimona went way above and beyond my expectations in the preparation of my hair & makeup, the execution of the photo shoot, and in the selection and composition of my photographs. Shimona knew how to be directive, fun, and how to create a comfortable and playful atmosphere in the studio in which to best bring out and capture my inner pin-up. Shimona's enthusiasm is contagious, and I can't wait for my next shoot! Thank-you Shimona! "- Veronica

"My absolute highlight was meeting the lovely ladies from Pin-up Perfection. They expertly directed us in posing and looking good and then snapped some beautiful photos that I am DYING to see."

"The photographers of Pin-up Perfection were very friendly and the outdoor photo shoot was pretty cool. I loved that they helped with the poses and let you view your photos as they took them."

"Shimona Henry! I've been admiring Ms. Henry's work for longer than I'd care to admit (stalker, much?), so I was thrilled when I read that Pin-Up Perfection would be doing photobooth duties. She captured an amazing shot of my best friend and I, which I'm eager to see once the photos get posted. She and her assistant were lovely to talk to, and this has confirmed that I will go and get my pictures taken with her sometime soon."

"The Pin-up Perfection team were SO nice and really made you feel good taking your photo, awesome ladies."

"The photography session with Pinup Perfection was fun..made me feel humorous and sexy at the same time."

"Shimona took my maternity photos and my husband and I absolutely love them! Shimona did a pinup-style with various themes and they are gorgeous! Shimona is extremely talented and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to bring bring out their inner sex kitten or for any occasion where you want to look fabulous! Shimona provided professional makeup and hair styling which was a great help too! "-Janis

"I wanted to give my husband of 27 years something different for his birthday. When I discovered Shimona I knew that this would be a fantastic gift. The photo shoot was amazing and so much fun. The pictures were really great. I wanted to have the pictures taken for my husband but after I saw the pictures I realized that I will also enjoy the pictures for years come as a sort of a memory of how I looked then! He was very surprised and told his friends about the pictures; he had them hanging in the bedroom the same day!!"- Marion

"Shimona shot my wedding photos in 2009. We were looking for a unique shoot that would embodied who we are, and she was able to capture gorgeous shots that truly express our personalities. The whole shoot, in the sweltering heat of July, was filled with laughter and fun, and Shimona made us all feel so comfortable that the session seemed to fly by. She is a true professional and her perspective is unmatched! <3" -Karen

"Hi girls! I still cant sleep... I had way too much fun tonight and I can't thank you enough.This was my FIRST pho to shoot experience (other than headshots for acting) and I am so lucky it was with you girls :)You made it fun, relaxing and simply amazing. Great talent from both of you and I look forward to seeing the pics!Shimona... man you are hilarious, fun and I loved taking your direction!! I hope this happens again and we stay in contact :) Im a huge fan!!" - Gigi

"So I finally shot with THE Shimona Henry yesterday. We ate hotdogs and giggled and talked about the last unicorn and how pluto isnt a planet anymore. Sitting crosslegged on the ground, side walk chalk in one hand, rocket popsicle in the other, I ask her "whats your favourite dinosaur?" she replies "oh too hard" - felt like I was 6 years old and meeting the new neighbour girl who would become one of my kindreds. LOVED my first go with Shimona Henry ♥"

"OMG Shimona they are so incredible! I could actually cry!! I am so indebted to you, you made that day so special and made me feel better and more confident than my 'old self'! I hope I get to do another photo shoot with you in the future :) You are truly incredible!!"
